I couldn't care less about top 4 tbh. We haven't a hope of winning it so what's the point? I guess there's the last 16 banter, but we seem able to create an ample amount of banter in the league

 

Smashin. Unfortunately this means we're one 90 minutes closer to Wenger going.

Somehow we're level on goal difference with Arsenal

 

I don't even care anymore. Hope we finish 11th for the banter and AFTV.

 

Explosion on the Dortmund team bus. Marc Bartra rushed to hospital

 

On the fucking bus? Jesus Christ what happened

 

Wait no, posted too fast based off Google translate. Explosion on the road, by the bus. No update on the condition of the players or Bartra, yet. He seems to be the only one injured.

 

Bartra is ok, has shattered glass in his arm.

 

Marca are saying it wasn't a bomb, but a really large firecracker thrown at the bus. Dortmund say bomb explosion, though something could be lost in translation.

 

Game postponed. Will be played tomorrow.

 

Pictures of the bus:

 

This feels like Paris all over again. Mathieu starting in the year of our lord 2017 is hilarious when Jordi Alba is healthy on the damn bench

 

That save by Buffon was as beautiful as the almost assist by Messi

 

What a damn strike by Dybala.

 

Buffon is amazing.

 

How Mandzukic hasn't been sent off yet is beyond me.

 

because the first yellow was a joke

 

But that incredibly dangerous challenge on Roberto just there is straight red in some games

 

That's a yellow for me. It was a bit overzealous but not reckless.

 

Studs up above the knee isn't reckless? lolok

 

Police: We'll do everything we can to ensure safety tomorrow, however, there's no such thing as 100% security.

Prosecutor: We found a letter near the scene. I won't give any details, the authenticity of the letter is currently being investigated. We conduct investigations under the assumption of attempted homicide.

Holy shit

 

I'm amazed they're going to play the game today after that. Not sure how much I'd want to play football after someone has tried to blow me up...

 

Álvaro Morata: ‘Footballers are more like singers or rock stars than sportsmen’ | Sid Lowe

Morata is one seriously likable fellow. Great read.

 

So Tony Adams took over at Granada and that's suitably hilarious enough. HOWEVER, not to be undone Adams himself labelled his new squad "too foreign". To remedy this he has brought in Kieran Richardson and Nigel Reo-Coker. Yeah.

 

Vidal!
